The tables, which extended from tho doorway to the rear of tho room, were nono too long to seat the constant inpour of people.

The case of the State of Nebraska against tho Standard Oil company will come up for. hearing before the su preme court next Tuesday on a de murrer filed today by Attorney Gen eral Smyth, the object of which is to strike out two clauses of the defend ant's answer which attack the consti tutionality of tho Nebraska anti-trubt law, says the Lincoln correspondent to the Omaha lies. James M. Wool worth, Frank ! McCoy and probably John M, Thurston will appear for the Standard Oil company and Attorney General Smyth will present the s-ide of tho state. Toe questions to bo discussed are of a legal nature, all touching upon the constitutionality of the act under which the suit was instituted. In the demurrer filed today Attorney Gen eral Smyth hods that the attorneys for the defendant have placed a wrong interpretation upon the law and in sists that for this reason clauses 0 and 7 of ItWr answer should be stricken ou. Tho consideration of this prop osition will delay the final hearing of the ca-se for several months and if the attorney general is overruled the state's cause of action will bo seriously crippled. The attorney general con tends that there is nothing in tho anti trust law or its title which is contrary to tho constitution, but the answer of the defendant cites several tpecifis points of allegeif unconstitutionality and threo more which are held to be contrary to the constitution of the United States. Tnis case has attractel widespread attention, for upon its decision depends the course to be pursued against trusts in other states. James M. Wool worth has been employed as additional coun sel for the defei.se and preparations are being made by that side of tho ca e for one of tho hardest legal battle3 ever fought in the supremo court UA1LK0.II NOTES AMI l'KUSON ALS James Graham, of the Burlington semaphore service, came in from Lin coln this morning with a force of men to put up a couple of signaling boards on the Missouri river bridge.

Di2TIES NEARLY EVEEY CHARGE Made in the House Resolution 11 earn lIe Cerniany Not to Kxcl title Our ."Meat ami IJutter. Washington. April 2S. General Mer rlani was the star witness be-fore the house military committee yesterday in the matter of the Coeur d'Aleno in quiry. General Meriam described in detail his orders from the war depart ment and the assembling of troops by his orders. His orders to his inferior officers were that arrests and seizures were to be made by deputies under the protection of troops. He was, he said, very careful on this point. He 6aid that the prisoners at all times were better sheltered from the weather than were the troops. There was, however, a deficiency in bedding. He denied that he had held any conferences with mine owners or managers, but said he had several times talked casually with mine operators who came to or were passing through Wardner. Contradicts Attorney Kobertson. General Merriam stated positively that he had never been In the room where the inquest was held at Ward ner, denying the statement of Attorney Kobertson to tnat effect. Kobertson interrupted to state that he had been under the impression that General Merriam had been present. General Merriam's testimony followed closely the lines of his report. During twenty eight years of service, he said, he had never known a soldier to strike a pris oner with a musket or jab him with a bayonet. Such testimony, he said, therefore to him was utterly incredi ble. State of Rebellion Existed. He declared most emphatically that a state of rebellion existed In -Idaho, and there was a menace to public safety there. He took up each preamble of the resolution under the operation of which the committee was acting, de nying absolutely most of the facts al leged therein. General Merriam said the United States troops were in charge of the prisoners simply as guards in carrying out the authority of the state. The general said he felt great solicitude as to the prisoners and their long confinement. He finally took up the matter with the war depart ment, writing and telegraphing on the subject. Two of the letters had not heretofore appeared in the correspond ence furnished by the war department, evidently having been mislaid. What the Troops Are Doing Xow. In one of the letters General Mer riam advised that a part of the troops be withdrawn. Be stated also that the continued service of the troops on guard duty had led to the bribery of a sergeant and the escape of eight pris oners. At present. General Merriam stated, the troops were not guarding any prisoners. A few troops remained in garrison in the locality, but without having any duties in connection with the disturbance, although available in case of an outbreak as long as martial law continued. OCR MEATS NOT EXCLUDED. German Ambassador Denies a Story Cabled from Iterlin. Washington, April 28. It was cahled from Berlin Thursday night that the North German Lloyds Steamship com pany had been enjoined not to bring American meat products freshly slaughtered or dairy products to Ger man ports. Bveu if such an order had been made, while it undoubtedly would tend to accentuate the growing feeling in the United States over the repeated attacks on American commerce, it was realized in oihcial circles here that the German government has, legally speak ing, an undoubted right to deal at its pleasure with a corporation of its own creation such as this steamship com pany was declared to be. But it was possible yesterday after noon to obtain from an authoritative source a full contradiction of the state ment in the following terms: "With reference to the dispatch dated Berlin, April 20, and publishing this morning, showing that Prince von Ilohenlohe has forbidden the North German Lloyds Steamship company, under article 20 of the subvention con tract, to make further importations of and to land in German, Dutch and Belgian ports fresh nieats, dairy prod ucts or cereals, it was observed by the German ambassador today that no German steamship company trading with the United States receives any subsidy, and that consequently there Is no such subvention contract regard ing German trade with the Uaited States. "In view of this fact, it may be de nied that any such order has been is sued, excluding meat and dairy prod ucts of the United States from Ger many." Congres of Religion. Boston, April 2S. The liberal con gress of religion, which has been hold ing its sixth annual session here this week, voted to drop the word "liberal" on account of its possibility to mislead ing interpretations, and be known as "The Congress of Iieligion."

The Nicara guan governiiicnthas - finally can celled the concession to the Maritime Canal company to construct a ship ca nal across Nicaragua. This decision is the result of proceedings covering a period of nearly five months. The orig inal concession would have expired Oct. 5 last, but the company applied for an extension of the period. This was refused by the Nicaraguan gov ernment, and the result of further pro ceedings has been as stated above. Scores on the Diamond. Chicago, April 28.

JG. Fricke & Co. access to the blood through failure of the proper dear of all morbid, effete matter. This poison tnrough tne general circulation is deposited in the joints, muscles and nerves, causing the most intense pain. Rheumatism may attack with such suddenness and severity as to make within a few days a healthy, active person helpless and bed-ridden, with distorted limbs and shattered nerves ; or it may be slow in developing, with slight wandering pains, just severe enough to make one feel uncomfortable ; the ten dency m such cases is to grow worse, and finally become chronic. Like other blood diseases, Rheumatism is often inherited, and exposure to damp or cold, want of proper food, insufficient clothing, or anything calculated to impair the health, will frequently cause it to develop in early life, but more often not until middle age or later. In whatever form, whether acute or chronic, SSSSiSf Rheumatism is Strictly a Blood Disease, and no liniment or other external treatment can reach the trouble. Neither do the preparations of potash and mercury, and the various mineral salts, which the doctors always prescribe, cure Rheumatism, but ruin the digestion and break down the constitution. A remedy which builds up the general health and at the same time rids the system of the poison is the only safe and certain cure for Rheumatism. S. S. S.. made of roots, herbs and barks of wonderful Wonders Never Cease. Dr. Disbrow has not only demon strated that his cure is a dead shot for whiskey in a few hours in the worsi cases possible, but morphine as well. The expression on the lips of all our citizens who have watched his wotk is that it is wonderful. A bid case of morphine cured in forty-eight hours right here in Piattsmouth is a knock out argument. Dr. Disbrow has prac tically verified every assertion he has made concerning his remedies while here. A Special Meeting.

WThen a woman goes to buy wall pa per, it is a solemn function. She thinks when she first starts out that she knows what she wacts; but after she has looked over about a million samples she gets rattled and takes a lot of samples home, and calls in the neigh bors for their advice. And the neigh bors look wise, and each one selects a different pattern, and they get the un fortunate lady so balled up that she finally buys something that is a morti fication to the epiriteverafter. In this particular a woman is inferior to a man. When a man goes to buy anything, he knows in ad vance just what he wants, and it is useless to show bim samples. He insists upon having the thing that his heart is sot upon, and gets it and pays three prices for it, isn't worth five cants any how. Walt Mason. An Epidemic of Whooping Cough.
